Shepherd's Cottage is a ground floor semi-detached cottage on a working farm near to Hawkshead in Cumbria. The cottage sleeps four people and has a double bedroom, a second double room and a shower room. It also features an open plan living area with a kitchen, dining area and a sitting area. Outside is off road parking and an enclosed patio with a hot tub. Just under a mile from Hawkshead, Shepherd's Cottage is the perfect place for a superb Lake District holiday, all year round.

The picturesque village of Hawkshead still retains the charm and character that so endeared it to its most famous residents - William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. Cars are banned from the village, leaving visitors free to wander the wealth of tiny alleyways, thoroughfares, archways and courtyards between the whitewashed 17th century houses.
